some excitement

Well, it's kind of feeling more like fall around here! Either way, I've still been enjoying pumpkin treats, hot lattes, and maybe some Christmas music a few time =) And I'm wearing my leggings, and boots, Oh! and my brand new J. Crew flats that were a STEAL on Ebay-they are sparkly. and I might sorta look like a five-year-old in them, but I don't care! All of this to say that, when the weather starts to change, I'm just in a better mood all around! Jason seriously wants to put up our Christmas tree on November 1. I just think we would seem strange to people if we did that. I will go for before thanksgiving though! Some excitement these past weeks has been a nice change to the often monotonous weeks of a stay at home mom!
-My sweet cousin Meg gave birth to her second little girl, Emily, a week ago! She has quite an inspiring birth story, and we are so proud of her! I'll post some pictures later.

-My sister, Mark, and little Asher came to stay with us last week for a couple of nights and it was so much fun. It was relaxing and fun to show them some of things we do around here and the places we go.

-I met up with my friend and her adorable little baby for some coffee and muffins and we chatted about motherhood while strolling and browsing around stores. I have so much fun with her!

-Had yummy treats with Liz and good playtime with our tots. They apparently think carpet is really hilarious to play on?! Maybe I'll carpet Hudson's room.

-Some friends from college came into town for a quick visit. In less than 24 hours, we stuffed our faces with Liz's amazing cooking, chatted non-stop, traded recipes, & lounged. I miss these girls!

-Sunday, Jason and I tried a new Sunday school class. We loved it! It felt like a perfect fit for us and the stage of life that we are in. Everyone was so friendly and inviting. We can't wait to see what's in store for us there!

-And lastly, Jason is home today! He deserves this break for sure. He is such a hard worker. We are proud of him for making it through another busy season.

-Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting I'm pregnant (except for my muffin top and squishy tummy) but I do feel really good now! I think the nausea is gone.

Happy Monday!
